Woodstock

Woodstock is acknowledged by most people as just a huge drug sex music fest. It was actually originally supposed to be a big money making venture. 2 guys from New York inherited a huge pharmaceutical fortune and wanted to use it to make even more money. So they put an ad in the paper asking for if anyone had an idea for a lucrative money making venture. They met with 2 other men who wanted to start a record company in the old town where Bob Dylan grew up. They decided to make a music festival to raise more funds for the venture. As we know the event went wildly out of control and initially lost a ton of money, but I went down in history as one of the greatest music festivals of all time.
